[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While everyone continues to shame the OP for not wanting to use a tampon, I will restate what I wrote earlier. NOT EVERYONE CAN USE TAMPONS!!!!!!  I can't use them and regularly run into this situation while on any vacation involving pools/oceans/lakes, etc.

It's not because we are ignorant people, or prudish, or don't want to buy Tampax Pearls.  If you had a difficult delivery, you can lose part or all of your pelvic floor on one or both sides.  You then cannot hold a tampon or a cup - you are permanently wider.  The muscle is not there, so there is a gap. Second, if you have pelvic organ prolapse, the prolapsed organ/organs can push your tampons out.

There are also other forms of pelvic floor dysfunction that make using a tampon hard.  People can have super tight pelvic floor muscles from trauma or other things, for example.

Educate yourselves.  Understanding how your pelvic floor works and doing simple exercises, as a previous poster indicated, has other benefits like greater core strength, better sex, less or no leaking, etc.

Here is a way to get started.  https://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/pelvicfloor[/quote]

Yeah but this is NOT OP's situation. [/quote]
